Subject: RE: BS: Bush, Iraq, and War: PART FIVE
And just another thought or two, my friend... All of a sudden, when backed into a corner by public pressure, where does Junior run but to the United Nations. You asked who's gonna pay. Last I heard, it was Ted Tunrner paying the past due bills for the US. The US, over the last 30 years goes to the United Nations only as a PR stop but if they don't get their way they jkust go ahead and do what ever the heck they want to do anyway.

And this is what Jniour has implied. Either you guys do this or if not, then we will. This isn't about the security of the US or even the region for that matter. Its a big ol' PR thing for Junior to keep the big dog under the porch.

And as for violations. If we do invade, we will be in violation of Article 51. But like who cares, right. And we have allies, close allies, in the Middle East who have violated UN agreements over the last decade or so that we never went to the UN to complain about. Hmmmmmmm? Dual standards.

Come to think about this entire situation one can find dual standards as a primary driving force behind most of it....
